Apple Pickin' Time

Leaves flutter through the autumn air In between the trees the light dapples The butterflies have long gone Its time to pick those apples Pick one for your sweetheart A golden or a delicious red And if they are too tart Give her a sweet one instead After having some apple pie Take a stroll neath the autumn sky Feel the crisp air on your face And listen as autumn winds sigh Leaves flutter through the autumn air In between the trees the light dapples The butterflies have long gone Its time to pick those apples With many varieties to suit your desire You can tell all your friends about the red fuji, granny smith, and empire Cause its apple picking time again

You're very good at depicting this time of year, the autumn... in your other poems, as well. I love your fourth stanza, the "leaves" that "flutter" and the colours that flow throughout the poem Archontoula

You must have been in Washington State recently. They grow the best apples there. Everything here is delightfully descriptive.
